Is Michael Garfier. Michael Garfield.
Michael Garfield's joining in the high tech Texan.

2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:15.720
Michael Garfield is here with a high
tech Texans items to make life easier,

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:23.079
some new technology, and Michael Garfield
has something you might want. Texas.

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:32.320
Michael Garfield is your high tech Texan. Three decades helping you make magic

5
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:40.640
with your gadgets, heard worldwide on
the iHeartRadio Act. Now your high tech

6
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:47.119
Texan. Michael Garfield. All right, here's the deal. I promise not

7
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:56.079
to mention that today is four twenty
because I have no clue ad four twenty

8
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.439
is. I have no clue at
for twenty means I don't know why it's

9
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.520
called four to twenty. It doesn't
even make sense. So four to twenty

10
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.560
is gonezo. Someone just alluded that
today is for twenty. I know it

11
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.400
has something to do with illicit illegal
drugs that we do not do in Texas,

12
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.640
and no one in their life should
do. Look at me on my

13
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.079
freaking threshold, So happy for twenty. You better not be doing anything other

14
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:26.159
than waiting for the Houston Texans new
uniform reveal last week. I really had

15
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.640
to pull that one out, and
with that we do start the High Tech

16
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.359
Dixon Show coming up this show,
We've got your questions seven to one three,

17
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.760
two one, two five nine five. A lot of email, a

18
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.079
lot of email this week, and
people want to know some of your Apparently

19
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.959
you're sick of your phones. You
want to know some of the better phones.

20
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.760
And it's nice to know that you
turn to me, your trusted high

21
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.159
tech Hexan that you know I don't
use iPhones. I'm not a big Apple

22
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.680
guy. I am an Android guy. And there are a number of them

23
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.480
out there. And what are some
of the better non Apple phones, especially

24
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.079
the foldable phones. And I have
played with a lot of foldable phones,

25
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.960
and more are coming out and we
still do not know. We have no

26
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.039
confirmation that Apple is coming out with
a foldable I phone, so I will

27
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.840
go through with that. People also
want to know about new Wi Fi routers.

28
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.360
How old is your Wi Fi router? Now we certainly know what Wi

29
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:29.120
Fi is. And let me go
back to tell you how long I've been

30
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:34.280
doing this. When I started doing
the High Tech Texan, I started on

31
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.599
television. I was on Channel two
here in Houston on the it's the NBC

32
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.560
affiliate early in the morning, and
this was two thousand, two thousand and

33
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.800
what almost a quarter century ago.
Who I am dating myself? Arn I

34
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:52.400
peeps and I would be on the
morning news about ten minutes, about six

35
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.960
fifty six fifty five. It was
a segment called nothing but Net just because

36
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.759
the day before we launched the segment, we couldn't think of anything else of

37
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.319
the Internet. And I would I
would talk about, you know, there

38
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.080
was the dot com era. I
would talk about the new technology. Laptops

39
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.039
were massive, they were big,
they were heavy. Desktops were huge,

40
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.120
so much they it was a monitor. Then you had a tower underneath your

41
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.439
desk with the cord and you know, there were two thousand there were three

42
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.159
thousand dollars for those. Cell phones
were Hey, I'm not saying the joke.

43
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.080
I mean, BlackBerry was the thing
back in the day. Nokia was

44
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.719
hot. Certainly there was a seven
years, six to seven years before the

45
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.800
iPhone would be out there. But
Wi Fi, let's go back to the

46
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:38.560
point of this. Wi Fi had
just started rolling out. Well to that

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.840
fact, high speed internet started rolling
out. And actually I told the story

48
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.879
the other day. They're like,
oh, that's or not, Garf.

49
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.800
I've known you for like twelve years
and now I'm putting two two together high

50
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.879
speed before kids, pull up a
chair, because Uncle Garfy's going to go

51
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.960
back into the wayback machine here.
Before there was high speed internet, okay,

52
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.800
ble internet whatever we have, there
was dial up, and dial up

53
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:09.280
was aol. Dial up was ev
one. Everything's Internet, I think that

54
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.280
was what it was called here at
Houston. You would dial in number on

55
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.040
your computer. The motive would go
like a fax and you would be connected

56
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.279
at a boad rate. You're lucky
if it was you know, seventeen thousand

57
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:28.519
bots per printed twenty thousand bucks.
And there was bulletin board services. Then

58
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.160
Comcat was a Comcast. No,
no, it was Time Warner. Time

59
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:38.319
Warner had the They had the the
Houston monopoly on cable before they switched it

60
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.519
out with Comcast years ago. But
anyway, Time Warner was here and they

61
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.680
launched something called row Runner. Row
Runner. Well, I that helped launch

62
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.240
my career. They I was doing
high tech text and stuff on Channel two.

63
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.839
The local Time Warner peeps wanted to
get out the message that Internet high

64
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.360
speed is the way to go fast
tight through Roadrunner table and it was much

65
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:08.240
better than dial up. So they
knew I was a technology. HEMP.

66
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.079
I was talking about technology all the
time, so they may be their spokesperson.

67
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.160
So I was on commercial after commercial, I was on billboards. It

68
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.199
was. It was fine and helpless, without a doubt at a time Warner

69
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.040
and I'm forever indebted at a Time
Warner. They helped launch my career.

70
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.000
I came up with the high tech
textan brand. I owned the trademark,

71
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.360
but they they made me ubiquitous.
Somehow. I was on TV and radio

72
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.319
more than Mattress Mac. I mean, it was, it was crazy.

73
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.920
The point is there that was high
speed Internet. Well, the high speed

74
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.160
internet obviously I had to plug something
in until Wi Fi came on. Wi

75
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.120
Fi was a router and I remember
talking about routers and how it is and

76
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.639
how simple, and my sticks still
to this day is how I take technology

77
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.279
and how it could be make an
understandable easy. You know. I used

78
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.920
to say, listen, you know, yes, you can go to your

79
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.040
coffee shop with your laptop, open
up your computer and you could surf the

80
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.519
internet thanks to Wi Fi. That
was a long story to get to how

81
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:12.160
old is your Wi Fi router?
There are new standards of Wi Fi routers

82
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.360
out there, and I am going
to I got questions, you know,

83
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.839
Michael, is a time. How
often do you need to change your WiFi

84
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.279
router? Minds seems a little slow
number one. It may not. You

85
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:26.120
may not need a new WiFi router. You may need to move it within

86
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.560
your home or within your office.
You know, maybe the more furniture you

87
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.360
get there, maybe as your home
settles or somebody. Wi Fi has to

88
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.199
go through walls, it has to
go through upstairs and downstairs, it goes

89
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.439
through inside and outside. Maybe.
But there are new standards of Wi Fi,

90
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.639
Wi Fi Max, there's Wi Fi
six, there's Wi Fi seven.

91
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.759
I'll give you some good prices on
those things, and we'll go over how

92
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.680
to improve your internet speed. And
that was a law that was a long

93
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.439
way around to getting on Wi Fi. And but anyway, the point is

94
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.319
if you do want to call,
if you do any email, you can

95
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.800
find me at Michael at hi tech
Texan dot com. He spelled the whole

96
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.199
thing out if you If that's too
long, I hope you follow me on

97
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.800
social media unless you are blocked,
and you know who you are. H

98
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.680
I G h T E c h
T e X A N high tech text

99
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:15.959
and you can just post something go
on the X, go on Twitter,

100
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.319
go on threads, and you could
just say, hey, Garf, I

101
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.720
got a question for you and whatever. And you know what, we also

102
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.720
have some gifts to give away too. If I get a very good question,

103
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.639
then I'm not saying stumps me,
but it's like, you know what

104
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.120
this is, you are contributing to
my show. We've got a new uh

105
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:35.519
a new found what it's not new. It's a great restaurant that finally came

106
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:41.399
to Houston. There's four locations here
and I'm just I'm really just been eating

107
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.319
there a lot. It's it's it's
very nice. It's called Cabo Bob's.

108
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.279
Cabo Bob's make your own burritos.
They're out of Austin. There's four locations,

109
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.759
ones in Stafford, Texas on the
southwest side, ones in Katie,

110
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.279
one is in Cyprus, and then
one is kind of near the gallery at

111
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.839
San felape At right near the AHV
fountain. So it's good stuff. They

112
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.079
have given me just a stack of
credit cards, twenty five dollars gift cards.

113
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.560
To put it this way, if
I pick a winner, this is

114
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.319
why you're going to email me.
This is why you're going to post something

115
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.879
on the ex at High Tech Texan
that there's something good. I'm going to

116
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.360
give away a blah bob so you
and probably at least somebody else you could

117
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.759
take. If not your family,
you can go get some good burritos.

118
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.439
It's burritos because it is lunchtime right
now as we do the show on KPRC

other side. He's going to take
us to break and when we come back,

121
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.679
I am going to tell you things
about foldable phone, some good Wi

122
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.000
Fi routers. And by the way, here's the teas if you have or

been a day to reach good news. AT and T is offering something pretty

125
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:54.120
pretty good. And you're gonna like
hearing this. Comeout up high Tech Taxi

Jare I say sexy? For all these

128
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.480
years had my voice? My voice
was not my dad. Cal did you

129
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.200
have to really getna used ai my
voice or something? A few weeks ago,

130
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.879
I was a little down man.
I had a little procedure done and

131
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.919
wouldn't feel good. No, it
was real. It was real. Okay,

132
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.399
well, thank you very much.
Hey, cal, don't talk to

133
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.240

April twentieth. I don't want to hear

134
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.440

don't know what it means. Just get

135

days we're gonna be talking about what's coming

139
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.519
up. Oh yeah, we shot
a feature coming up on Keels and Wheels

140
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.039
that's coming up Saturday, May third
and Sunday May fourth. It was actually

It's the classic car and boat show.

143
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.600
So I will be on GDH Great
Day Houston along with my good friend Deborah

that number has not changed. And
the twenty two years that a lot of

146
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:26.159
people have been listening to I just
got some emails over here. Michael.

147
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.120
Have a good story about how you
started with being the spokesperson. I remember

148
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.879
your TV commercials when you did the
Time Warner stuff. Did they Was that

149
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.200
your actually hold on? There was
three emails over hero one. It was

150
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:45.200
really cute, Uh, Michael.
I remember vividly your Time Warner commercials.

151
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.240
I think you were golfing in one
and I think you were running in one.

152
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.799
Was that your son, your actual
son, who was one of your

153
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.279
commercials back way back when? And
this is from my Jessica Jessica's down in

154
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.360
Perland. Yes, it was.
Yes, So I need to I know

155
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.879
I have these videos. I guess
I should put them on my website.

156
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.799
We shot these videos and they were
very professionally done. When I was when

157
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.080
Time Water had rolled out road Runner, the high speed internet service, back

158
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.360
in two thousand and one, two
thousand and two, they reached out to

159
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.759
me because I was already on TV. I was on Channel two doing talking

160
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.159
about technology, and I said,
sure, let's see we've got ao all

161
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.279
Time Warner, the world's largest communications
company at that time, which it was.

162
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.960
You want me to be your spokesperson
across TV and radio across the state

163
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.759
of Texas as just as I'm building
my brand. Yeah, I think it's

164
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.440
a good deal. Yeah, I'm
more than happy to do it. But

165
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.080
I b anyway, So we shot
these commercials and they were shot we shot

166
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:52.480
them in Austin because that's what the
production company was. And I was with

167
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.679
this is I'm just gonna give me
some insights, skinny, because one day

168
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.519
I'm never threatening to write a book, but people have told me I need

169
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.399
to write a book and how to
brand yourself and whatever, which which I've

170
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.519
never read a book. Why the
hell am I going to write a book

171
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.519
so to build a bran So in
the way, I popped onto the Time

172
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.600
Warner thing and we shot these commercials
and this is twenty four ye twenty three,

173
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.559
twenty four years ago. I I
am real. I am about as

174
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:28.679
real real person as you can be. There is zero things that this is

175
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.879
my real hair. I do not
die my hair. This is my real

176
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.039
name. You think a loserish name
like Michael Garfield will be made up.

177
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.000
No, my real name is Michael
Garfield. That's the name I was given

178
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.440
with. And I'm not going to
go as far as giving you my my

179
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:48.360
other government id stuff like my middle
name and I and they they said what

180
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.960
do you want? They were formulating
the script of the commercials, and I'm

181
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.559
like, well, this is what
happens. Because I've been doing this TV

182
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.399
thing on Channel two on the news. People come up to me all the

183
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.960
time where wherever I am, and
they asked me technology questions. And it's

184
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.240
kind of like, I'm a doctor. You know, if you find out

185
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.559
someone's a doctor, it's like,
oh doc, you know, I've got

186
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.320
this pain in my arm, and
you know the doctor you're at a party.

187
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.159
So I'm the same thing as people
come asking me, Hey, Michael,

188
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.200
what cell phone do you have?
Really? Okay, that's what I'm

189
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.759
like, what's your laptop? Whatever? So anyway, they came up with

190
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.799
the campaign that I would be doing
normal things, that Michael Garfield would be

191
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.320
doing it in my regular life and
people would come up and ask me questions

192
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.320
and it was it. Actually it
turned out very cute, I think,

193
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.120
And again I a lot of the
props to the scriptwriters in the way they

194
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.879
shot this thing. But I'm a
runner and I'd run, you know,

195
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.519
marathons and everything. And so one
we shot in a park in Austin.

196
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.080
This was a tough way. We
really I was. We really ran and

197
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.759
there was I feel bad because you
know, they gave me this running outfit

198
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.279
with shoes and little short shorts and
everything. Then they had to find extras.

199
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.200
They had to find it like eight
to ten extras who were physically fit,

200
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.879
who could run to keep up with
me. But the worst part is

201
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:11.600
the cameraman, because the cameraman had
this cameras were bigger twenty five years ago

202
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.759
that it was a real film camera
that they had on a rig that the

203
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.799
dude had to it was like a
steady camp which was a harness on his

204
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.519
body. So this guy, I'm
not Kenya. He was six and a

205
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.519
half plus feet all. He was
this monster, and God love him.

206
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.080
He had to run packwards because I
was running forward with the things, so

207
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.679
do I. That was a real
thing. And the punchline of everything was

208
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.919
I'm just doing my own thing alone. I'm running alone, and all of

209
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:41.799
a sudden, somebody recognizes me and
they said, hey, you're Michael Garfield.

210
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.440
Theyn't let me ask a question,
and then somebody else asked a question,

211
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.200
and then somebody else asked a question. So the punchline of that one

212
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.360
was as I'm running alone. The
end shot was or ten people running and

213
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.720
chasing after me, asking me questions. I also golf There was one that

214
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.480
where I was golfing and I'm just
go golfing with three other buddies and were

215
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:03.360
in a force and they're asking me
questions about broadrunner or something. And then

216
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.120
the next thing you know, there's
like ten golf carts coming over the horizon

217
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.919
to the grain to run and ask
me questions. But to answer your question,

218
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.399
was it Jessica at Paarland, I'm
in this story telling me today,

219
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.919
Yes, there was one, and
this really happened. So I have three

220
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:26.159
boys and they were My youngest was
just more of My youngest Adam must have

221
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.879
been a year and a half two
years old. My middle son, Josh

222
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.639
was at that point he was obviously
five years four and a half five years

223
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.000
old, and Justin was the old
one. He was about eight years old.

224
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.320
So anyway, they said, listen, maybe we do something out of

225
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.240
school or something, because when you
go to school, people ask you questions,

226
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:46.399
like the mothers will come up and
ask you questions, and when you're

227
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.360
in the carpool like cause I used
to pick up and take my kids to

228
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.279
school out of the time, so
it was good. So anyway, I

229
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.679
said, being real, I said, yes, let's do it at a

230
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.440
school. But I'm not having a
fake kid. I'm using one of my

231
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.559
real sons. Sure call me nepotism, who cares, I'm using one of

232
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.600
my real sons. So we ended
up using my middle son, so because

233
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.000
he at that point he was about
five years old, four and a half

234
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:17.840
five years old, and if you
know my middle son, and to love

235
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:21.080
my middle son, he's kind of
the obstinate one. He's lying here and

236
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.200
I really don't want to do this, Josh Man, come on, this

237
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.440
is gonna be a TV commercial and
it is just gonna be other kids,

238
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.600
and it's gonna be snacked. And
I think they were gonna pay like like

239
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.200
a four and a half five year
old kid, and the kid cares.

240
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:33.799
I mean he was getting paid.
I don't know. They paid him like

241
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.960
five five, six hundred dollars whatever
a day rate was. And at that

242
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.240
point we had to we had to
bribe him. We literally, I think

243
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.320
we had to buy him a skateboard
to make him do this thing. But

244
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.320
anyway, that was my real son. He's he's he's got blonde hair.

245
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.919
He's really mine. I have a
redhead, I have a blonde, and

246
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:52.240
I have a brunette. They're all
mine. They're all from the same mom.

247
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.840
But we we we shot take after
taking. All he had to do,

248
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.559
Josh he had to jobs. It's
I'm sitting there and I'm in the

249
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.240
classroom. I dropped him off.
A mother comes over and tugs somebody,

250
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.400
Hey, aren't you Michael Garfield.
I got a question about Roadrunner. All

251
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.000
my son Josh had to do was
just tug on my shirt, just tug

252
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.920
like I'm ready to like get out
of here dad. Classes starting, and

253
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.519
then at the very end he all
he had to say was that all the

254
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.200
kids, you know, because it's
Roadrunner, all my son and all these

255
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:27.799
kids had to do on que they
had to go beep bebep like the Roadrunner.

256
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.000
God, I know he's not listening. He he couldn't, He didn't

257
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.079
want to do it. He just
did not hit that queue. I have

258
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.599
no We must have sat there,
oh God, like it was an hour

259
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.759
and a half on a Sunday in
this classroom and I think it was hot.

260
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.559
And he finally hit the Q.
But yes, that was my real

261
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.279
son. So there is the history
of branding and the commercials. If you

262
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.519
really want to go back, I'll
find these things and I'll put them on

263
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.799
my website, which is high tech
textan dot com. How did I get

264
00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.279
into this, I don't know,
but this is what's called storytelling. People.

265
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.000
If you have podcast, if you
want to get into communications, you

266
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:07.599
have to learn to tell stories and
have passion and be compelling. I bet

267
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.799
not one person got out of their
car this entire nine minute segment, and

268
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:15.279
you're waiting with bita breath for me
to give away a gift card or something.

269
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.559
Guess what after the break? I'm
telling you people, this is radio

we do in your I Teck Texit show.

271
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.599
Okay, as much as you love
all my stories of going back in

272
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:34.680
the day NFL, I started to
media my brand or the time water road

273
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:40.640

282
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.759
to me. That's one of the
beautiful Cabo Bob's here in and across the

283
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:19.839
city of Houston. And also they
were in Austin too, and I think

284
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:25.000
there's one at San Antonio. It's
really good, Stuffy I saw, you

285
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.680
know, I reviewed products for a
living and over the years, off you

286
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.759
listen. I don't talk a lot
about Sony. I like Sony's a company.

287
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:38.000
Sony's got a phenomenal story, you
know, going back to Japan and

288
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.319
you know, creating the Walkman,
and I mean just it was it was

289
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.039
just a real beautiful Sony has always
been a leader, truly a leader when

290
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:49.839
it comes to electronics so much so. But when you're a leader, and

291
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:55.279
when you're first to market, you
also have the opportunity to price, to

292
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:59.880
price your products very high. I
don't talk a lot about Sony because the

293
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.480
there good products, but I really
do worry about price point. I am

294
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:11.200
a cost hunt just consumer radio media
personality host where I say, hey,

295
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.200
listen, I'm gonna answer some questions. Yes, this is a good product,

296
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:21.119
but there's just as good as the
product where this one is less expensive

297
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.160
than it will save you money.
Which is why I don't talk a lot

298
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.000
about Sony. Sony's great I mean
I got when I go to Consumer Electronics

299
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.319
Show every year January, the Sony
booth has just always been one of the

300
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:37.799
largest booths inside the Vegas Convention Center
that is city blocks long. I mean,

301
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.880
because they have video games, They've
got Sony PlayStations, They've got course,

302
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.400
they've got televisions that they've they believe
or not. They actually have phones,

303
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.680
they have you know, AI and
sports gifts, they have cameras,

304
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.160
I mean, guesse. It goes
on and on. The thing with Sony

305
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.799
that is always just puzzled and boggled
my mind as long as with so many

306
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.200
other consumers is the way that they
name a lot of their products or a

307
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.640
lot of the lines within their products. If you do buy Sony products and

308
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.400
you're un familiar with it, with
you buy a Sony camera high end camera.

309
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.839
If you both Sony TV back in
the day or or video camera.

310
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:25.000
It's a combination of letters and numbers. It is so damn confusing. Wh

311
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:33.160
dash xb nine one zero in?
What is that? Is that a phone?

312
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.720
Is that a TV? I don't
even know? Man, they've always

313
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:44.359
done it, ladies and gentlemen,
breaking news. Good riddance WHXB nine one

314
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:55.440
zero inn. Because Sony's confusing product
names, We're finally going away this big

315
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.839
I may start talking about Sony now, man. Sony just debuted a new

316
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.839
line of speakers and headphones last week, and instead of coming up with letters

317
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:11.880
and dashes and numbers, they actually
gave them names. Sony debuted the ult

318
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:19.359
the old lineup of speakers and headphones. It was it's a first step towards

319
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:25.720
making a big change in naming its
products. Good for you. Sony has

320
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.319
just been so confused, so much
so, if I'm trying to review a

321
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.480
product, do you want me to
say, Hey, listen, I really

322
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:33.799
do like these headphones. I want
you to go out because it's not a

323
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.440
bad price point that the WHB nine
to one zero in find the headphones you're

324
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.920
hunting for is pretty cool? You
gotta remember that. You can remember that,

325
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:47.720
no versus, Go get it.
Go get some Apple AirPods. All

326
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.720
right, it's the iPhone, iPhone
fifteen, iPhone thirty. Give me something

327
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.160
easy to remember. Samsung has the
Galaxy. All they do is change the

328
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.680
number. You see where I'm going
at. Don't give me the SRS x

329
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:07.079
V nine hundred. I don't want
that stuff. Sony's also revising, revising

330
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.319
the names for home audio and TV
products. And there there is one name

331
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.799
that you may have been familiar with
Sony. It's the Sony Bravia b R

332
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.880
A, B I A. That's
their TVs, and they have new TVs

333
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.200
comeing out now. The seat they're
going with the numbering system, the Bravia

334
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:29.160
nine, Brava eight, Bravia seven, Brabi, Bravia three. I'm not

335
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.200
kidding you. One of them was
named, I'm not kidding you, the

336
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:41.279
x R sixty five an L.
I'm serious. They're even taking their soundbars

337
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:47.759
and speakers and they're using the Bravia
theater name along with some little bit more

338
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:59.359
descriptive terms. That's good one.
Except headphones and ear buds. They're very

339
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:03.400
different before this naming change. I'm
not kidding you, and I want you

340
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.079
to follow me, and I'm gonna
say it slowly. Sony has a pair

341
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:12.240
of earphones over the head cans over
the headphone earphones w H one thousand x

342
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:22.680
five. You have ear butts WF
one thousand XM five. It's one letter

343
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:30.039
apart. They're totally different products.
You know how confusing that is? So

344
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.160
do I good? For study?
We will continue this over there. What's

345
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:38.240
the It's not so much just a
brand name. It's it's it's the lineup

346
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.960
of names. I mean ours do
it? I mean think of the line

347
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:49.119
of General Motors. General Motors has
a Chevy line, they have a GMC

348
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:56.640
line. Stillantis which is the holding
company that has Jeep. It also has

349
00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:04.920
Dodge, it has it has Maserati, it has feat But then there's sub

350
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.920
sub brand. There's the Stilantis owns
Jeep. Well, there's the Jeep Wrangler,

351
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.960
There's the Jeep Grand Jerokee. There's
the Jeep Cherokee. I mean it

352
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.440
goes on and on and on.
It's not the x C Dash four five

353
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:26.319
you know, T one. That's
that's marketing one O one And I just

354
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.720
told you it's how marketing and branded
myself Man you can't do that stuff.

355
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.440
So anyway, good for Sony Hope. Well, I don't know. Maybe

356
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.119
I'll talk about it more, but
you know what they're not gonna do.

357
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.519
They're probably not gonna lower their prices, and so what are you gonna do

358
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:42.599
with that phone number? Here?
Seven one, three, two five?

359
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.880
Oh uh? We got about three
minutes. Yeah, let me give you

360
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.799
a data breach action right over here. I did this story when a reporter

361
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.279
from Channel eleven came over and got
a SoundBite earlier. This coming week,

362
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.240
it's going to air I think early
Tuesday morning. I will not see it

363
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:03.799
because I do not wake up that
early. And had a big breach data

364
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.359
leach, a big, massive hacking, and actually was several years ago.

365
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.680
And they're trying to make it up
to their customers following the leaks, and

366
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.599
it was idea and here's what they're
gonna do. I good for this,

367
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.960
and I'm gonna take this other way
for another two minutes. We're going to

368
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.160
talk about this and the other side
too, at and t trying to make

369
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.680

going to offer you, if you're an

370
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:34.599
att customer or former customer, security
perks because sensitive information of more than seventy

371
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:41.640
million people was leaked on the dark
web last month. Seven point six million

372
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:49.279
current customers and get this, sixty
five million former customers were affected by this

373
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:56.799
data breach, personal information, social
security numbers. This is all data from

374
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.720
twenty nineteen or earlier. It's a
lot. So what are they gonna do?

375
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:04.359
Well, what's the one thing they
can do? I don't know.

376
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.279
It's tough, and they're gonna give
you free service. They are going to

377
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:18.319
give people who were affected complementary identity
theft and credit monitoring services along with a

Why not just offer that to everybody?

388
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:29.119
Maybe it's the electric company, maybe
it's maybe it's banks. Why not If

389
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.119
we're paying all these fees, it
may be worth the value of loan of

390
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:38.160
saying, hey, along with you
paying Because I'm paying two hundred and fifty

391
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.720
or two hundred and sixty freaking dollars
a month a time to my cable bill

392
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:47.119
bill right now, Comcast, why
don't they give me a credit monitoring service

393
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.799
in case their information is breaching?
Okay, it's gonna make my monthly bill

394
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.519
a little easier to swallow. I
don't know. Think about that. When

395
00:28:52.519 --> 00:29:00.119
Little Married Days we come back here

to help restore it, and credit
monitoring services. Do you have a credit

405
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.200

I used to have a credit monitoring service

406
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:53.079
and I paid for and I forgot
what it was. It's it's it's you

towards the always protect yourself, be very

408
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.200
concerned. You know, you know, you know, of judicious of what

409
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.599
where you're spending your money. But
make sure you protect yourself. It's not

410
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:14.319
gonna hurt. Has anybody ever plaid
identity theft? Has anybody ever tried to

411
00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:18.119
restore it with any of these credit
monitoring or ID theft services. I'd love

412
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.319
to hear from me. Absolutely great
question seven one, three, two,

413
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.680
one two, five nine five outs
today's truth question. I'm serious about this.

414
00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:30.440
How tough is it? I mean
it's like if somebody gives you a

415
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:36.279
bad review online of a restaurant or
something, that thing, that thing is

416
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.240
online for a while of wiping it
off there. So uh, if you

417
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.559
anyway, here's what you need to
do. You need to do go to

418
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:47.720
just do a little Google Church,
AT and T Data breach, uh,

419
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.079
and you can find a website where
you could put your and this is legit.

420
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.319
It will put your email in there
and it'll verify it to you because

421
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.079
it will send you up six to
your code on your email to and it

422
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.799
will go takes about thirty seconds to
search the internet and it will show you

423
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.680
color coded what information of yours is
out there. And specifically, in this

424
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.839
case, if your information was leaked
by AT and T. If AT and

425
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:18.200
T did leak, luckily mine is
no. I don't think I've not I

426
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:22.960
don't think I don't think I've had
AT and T. So I'm fine with

427
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:27.559
that, which is good. It
doesn't mean that my current cell provider it

428
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.119
hasn't been leaked too. But in
this case, AT and T is trying

429
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.440
to trying to do its best.
So there you go. Just again,

430
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.759
people, just protect yourself. You
are speaking of well, speaking of phones,

431
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.720
let me see if I could tackle
this one. I gotta need several

432
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.400
emails over here, Michael. It's
the time, maybe time for me to

433
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:45.839
get a new phone. All you
do is talk about androids. I know

434
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:49.519
you're a big Android, pip anything
new in the world of androids, because

435
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:57.279
I know iPhones don't come out to
the fault. Actually there was Samsung did

436
00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:04.880
come out they just is was it
this week? Samsung just released and I

437
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:07.839
know I'm gonna make sure I get
it right because I just got the Do

438
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:08.559
I agree? Am I allowed to
say? Oh, you're good? The

439
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:13.640
embargo was lifted on Thursday? Could
I get say? Samsung Galaxy there's a

440
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.519
new one coming out. But this
is not the Galaxy S series. It's

441
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:23.839
the A series. Samsung just announced. It's the new Galaxy A thirty five.

442
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:30.960
A thirty five that is the it's
a five G phone and it starts

443
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:37.119
at four hundred dollars. That's it's
a mid range phone. Yes, there's

444
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:39.119
such thing as high end phones,
mid range phones and what have you.

445
00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:43.400
But when you're looking at a price
point a four hundred dollars, were to

446
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:45.880
call it, sadly, I'd like
to call that a high end phone,

447
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.039
but sadly, it's just a mid
range phone. That's mid range phones.

448
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.319
I haven't had the opportunity to play
with it yet. Nicole Montana However,

449
00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:00.519
from what I hear, uh,
they it's relatively very similar to the Glexy

450
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:04.279
S series in terms of form factor
in shape. This is not a foldable.

451
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.039
It does have a very good display. It's got upgraded camera capabilities,

452
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:15.160
including what they call Flagship Favorites,
which is probably some of their editing software,

453
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:22.200
and some good security too, so
the night portrait mode and the nicography

454
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:27.799
modes, they are upgraded to elevated
camera. It's got a super al Mowood

455
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.880
display. And this actually for the
first time, it's got a good security

456
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:37.640
defense for you. It's the Samsung
Knocks Vault. Knocks Vault's good security for

457
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.119
hardware and software attacks. So they're
a thirty five. It comes in comes

458
00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:49.319
in two colors. These really the
names of the colors. Awesome Navy and

459
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:57.119
Awesome Lilac. Those are awesome names. Man. That's pretty cool. By

460
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.880
the way, for a limited time
and the users can get thirty percent off

461
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:04.440
Galaxy Buds f E when you buy
one of those phones that I just talked

462
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:08.760
about. Those are little Samsung buds. Is there any other pricing? The

463
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:14.440
nice song? Yeah, here we
go ho with the pricing. No,

464
00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.760
that's it, four hundred No it's
officially to there, so that's one I

465
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.280
have also been testing. Listen,
I always test foldable phones too. If

466
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:22.400
you want some good foldable phones,
let me see if I can run down

467
00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.960
here in about three minutes before we
have to get out of here for this

468
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.920
break. Good foldable phones are flip
phones back? Good question I get.

469
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.719
I'm not going to have to define
what's back and what's not back. I've

470
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:42.719
been using a flip phone for probably
four or five years since Samsung's first well

471
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.440
for you know, relatively new five
years ago, the Samsung Z Flip and

472
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.960
then the Z Flip two, three, four, and five. They also

473
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:55.360
have foldable phones too. They to
me, they're all very durable. The

474
00:34:55.800 --> 00:35:00.159
Samsung Galaxy Z lines has what's called
Z the all the disease, which is

475
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.960
the flip filt. They have ip
X eight water resistance. That means if

476
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:07.679
it falls into water for about thirty
minutes or so, shallow water about five

477
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.400
feet, it should be good.
They have flexible screens. They're really neat.

478
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.880
When you see I've never seen a
foldable or flex or a flip phone

479
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.000
new in person where the and I'm
not gonna say it's glass, but you

480
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.719
know where just bins and puts in
your pocket. It is pretty cool.

481
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:27.480
I got to go to the Samsung
World headquarters last July in Soul, South

482
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:31.079
Korea for the debut of the Fold
five and the Flip five, and it

483
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.920
was really neat. I got to
be able one of the first people in

484
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.800
the world to see it when it
debuted out there, and it's it's neat.

485
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:44.039
I like the form factor. I
don't use it on a regular basis.

486
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:49.000
I do use a Samsung Galaxy S. I think I have the twenty

487
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.519
three or twenty four. This is
just because of what I have, because

488
00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.360
the camera on the one that I
currently have is a little bit better,

489
00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:00.800
and I use my camera for shooting
high end videos. Another thing there,

490
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:02.440
listen, there are other models.
There are other companies out there makes some

491
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:07.119
Google makes one. Google makes a
pixel fold. The z folds are great.

492
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.320
The pixel fold very close. It's
good. It's about you know.

493
00:36:10.360 --> 00:36:15.079
It folds out like a book.
It's got a big exterior display. He's

494
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.639
got a great camera, it's got
a good battery life. These things aren't

495
00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:22.079
cheap. These folds are about eighteen
hundred dollars. I'm also a big fan

496
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:28.320
of one plus one O n E
p l U U P l U S.

497
00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.000
Last October I went to New York
with the one plus folks where they

498
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:37.719
debuted the one plus open starts at
seventeen hundred dollars but very interesting too.

499
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:42.559
Yes, it is Android, it's
a bit more affordable than the other competition.

500
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:45.239
Good performance, and I think it's
a little bit thinner and a little

501
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.440
bit lighter designed than the other one
too. I like the battery life and

502
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.079
though it does have a little on
the rear camera. It's really interesting because

503
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:55.639
they've got a partner with Hassleblooe cameras. It's kind of a bulky rear camera,

504
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.920
but it doesn't have the greatest night
vision shooting. But sometimes you're you're

505
00:37:01.199 --> 00:37:04.880
gonna two three hundred dollars off if
if you want to, you know,

506
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:09.840
go online to one plus this website. But I like that that. I'm

507
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.199
not saying it's my lead, but
it's very very good too. I have

508
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.840
not tried mot Motorola has got some
flip phones. The point is there's a

509
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.559
lot of options out there. There's
not two people think, oh, there's

510
00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:22.800
an Apple I phone and there's the
Samsung. There's so so, so many

511
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:27.920
others do. And I'm telling you, if, if, maybe, when

512
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:32.119
iPhone ever comes out with the foldable
footable phone, I'm gonna be hearing it

513
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:36.599
forever. Oh my goodness, this
was like this. I've never seen a

514
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:38.239
phone like this. People, grow
up, listen to my show. I'm

515
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.800
telling you there's so many options.
Right now, we're gonna take a break

plus decades. We have some fun. I am not going to delve into

534
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:34.880
checking and I really never have delved
into the technology of I'm going to fix

535
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:39.719
your computer. Now it's called the
High Tech Texans Show. Two plus decades

536
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:45.880
ago, I did start talking about
and recommending and explaining how some interesting technology

537
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:52.519
works. This was the advent of
Wi Fi and cell phones or you know,

538
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.199
kind of in their relatively early stages, still before the iPhone was released,

539
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.079
laptops, desktops, TV off TV. That was a big one,

540
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:07.519
man. That was That's when digital
television took over analog television. The transformation

541
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:10.039
into the early two thousands, and
then it was flat screen TVs. And

542
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:15.679
then I mean the big debate was
was it LCD or plasma. I was

543
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.960
a plasma guy. I was a
plasma. And now there's so many different

544
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:24.280
variations of different the video screens and
monitors, and hell, we don't even

545
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:29.679
need TVs now. We watch things
on our phones. We have grown now.

546
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:34.840
Now I review cars and in video
games and travel and bourbon and I'm

547
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:37.519
consumer lifestyle guys. So whatever you
what to app about or just kind of

548
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:42.840
keep you awake or have you raised
the glass cocktails or something? Here is

549
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.480
I don't know. We got we
got at least we got, you know,

550
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:47.760
basket. NBA playoffs are starting,
we got baseball going on. It's

551
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:51.239
kind of the I don't know.
To me, it's I'm just with some

552
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:53.320
four months away from football. That's
that's all I'm doing. I'm killing time,

553
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:58.000
people, I'm killing time. Phone

could pop a little something on ex Twitter,

558
00:41:14.760 --> 00:41:19.239
Instagram, buy me on Facebook of
Michael Grifield. I saw this and

559
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:22.599
I talked, I'd like talking about
food generally because you know, I'm a

560
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:28.039
you know I'm I'm I am not
a food that is a horrible name.

561
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:31.280
Food is a is a food snob. Now I'm a I'm a peanut butter

562
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:37.400
and pecante sauce sandwich. Guy.
I give me some some tacos, give

563
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:40.159
me some burritos. By the way, Cabo Bob shout out, we have

564
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:45.480
I still have yet to give away
a Cabo Bob's gift card at this show.

565
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:50.840
I'm still waiting for somebody to add
some really fun interesting comment content or

566
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.599
a question. Uh so, uh
we'll give at a kaba four different Cabo

567
00:41:53.639 --> 00:42:00.000
Bob burrito uh Bill Joam Brito locations
here in Houston. So I saw this

568
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.360
thing. I'm gonna segue this into
Red Lobster. When is the last time

569
00:42:05.400 --> 00:42:09.760
you guys have been to Red Lobster. I live almost a cross a freeway

570
00:42:10.159 --> 00:42:16.079
from a Red Lobster for twenty years, twenty five years. I think I've

571
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:22.239
been in there twice. Maybe not
a Red Lobster. Red Lobster. I

572
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.320
saw this. We're not sitting shiva
for it yet, but Red Lobster may

573
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:32.840
be closed to bankruptcy. Does this
put a damper on anybody's lives who goes

574
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:37.119
to Red Lobster on a regular basis, that the bankruptcy of a Red Lobster

575
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:42.639
would cause them to have a nervous
breakdown. It's a sad story because it's

576
00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:47.119
a very it's a famous brand of
restaurant, I guess, for lack of

577
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:54.840
a better, you know term,
famous bran. But the problem was let

578
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:59.239
me give you some mestats over here. They closed eight locations last year.

579
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.639
At twenty twenty three, the investment
group that held most of mistakes, they

580
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:07.639
had a twenty two million dollar loss
for the year and they're facing potential bankruptcy.

581
00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:14.760
Two points over here that I want
to point out apparently the major one

582
00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:16.760
of the major causes of the downfall
last year, and I did not know

583
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:22.880
this. They had an all you
can eat promotion. Now I dig all

584
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:27.960
you can eat AYCEE as we call
it in the industry. I like all

585
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:32.719
you can eat. I shouldn't.
I really shouldn't eat all I can,

586
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:38.679
but it's kind of fun. They
had a twenty dollars ultimate endless shrimp deal

587
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:45.039
twenty bucks. Apparently last year,
in the third quarter alone, it cost

588
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:51.360
a company eleven million dollars. This
is according to Restaurant Business. I guess

589
00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:55.039
it's a magazine or something. They
ultimately raised the cost of twenty five bucks,

590
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.960
though I hardly think that's gonna recoup
the eleven million dollars. Is this

591
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:07.280
still going on? What marketing genius
thought? Twenty bones for all you can

592
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.800
eat shrimp is a good deal because
I can I can pound some shrimp.

593
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.519
I mean, I can hammer me
some shrimp and listen. I mean,

594
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:17.360
if it was fried, no,
because I try to stay away from fried

595
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:22.960
foods. And if it's peel your
own shrimp, I understand because I get

596
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.559
bored and tired of peeling my own
shrimp. But if I'm at some fancy

597
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:35.599
or semi fancy schmancy banquet event and
I see from afar there's this ice sculpture

598
00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:39.760
by the food, let me help
you out. I know there's some shrimp

599
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:45.199
sitting in there, and that ice
maybe a lobster, maybe something, maybe

600
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:49.079
a little crab cloth. And I'm
going to town. And if the shrimp

601
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.320
are big and they're not peeled ready
to pop in my mouth, and there's

602
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:57.639
a big bowl of that red Horse
Radish sauce. Dame is freaking on.

603
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:02.440
Hell yeah, I'm bank Umpton that
caterer right there. I get you.

604
00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:12.199
Also about the uh. Probably Red
Lobster is famous for their cheddar biscuits.

605
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:17.960
I guess is this the Is this
the tostato chips of Red Lobster? When

606
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.719
you sit down here in Texas at
a Mexican food joint, Yeah, in

607
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.679
tex mex joint, you get you
get free baskets of text mes. Generally

608
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:28.079
they're free, and they should be
free here in Texas. I think you

609
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:31.440
you get free cheddar biscuits or something. I remember having them, and people

610
00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:35.239
swear by these things. They I
mean, they they this is the end,

611
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:39.199
all beyond. They were very good, is the and that's I think

612
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:44.679
what they're famous for. Is there
another I'm gonna leave you this with a

613
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.559
uh for a breakover here and then
we're gonna have a little I need your

614
00:45:47.559 --> 00:45:57.400
input people. Is there another food
like cheddar biscuits that is so synonymous with

615
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:01.559
the restaurant like Red Lobster that you
just go to for it? Somebody hits

616
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.239
said well, this is a fun
question I bring up once or twice to

617
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:10.920
some friends when I'm beapping around.
Is it Texas Roadhouse that's got good biscuits

618
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:16.000
to or something? Yeah? I
mean I don't want anything general like,

619
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:20.320
oh, you go to text Mex
Place and you've got chips. That's just

620
00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.480
for say, But I mean a
specific restaurant. You know you're going to

621
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.639
Red Lobster. You know you're getting
Jedder biscuits. What are a restaurants out

622
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:30.519
there who have something synonymous and it
doesn't have to be I mean Masstros,

623
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:34.880
I know has their buttercake. Okay, that's that's the dessert and that costs

624
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.760
money. But Chedder biscuits, I
think they're free when you sit down.

625
00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:43.880
Help me out here seven one three
two five O Michael Garfield. I swear

632
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:22.519
new album a few nights ago.

kk K, Taylor Swift releases drops
as the kids say, her new album

634
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:38.360
breaking new Spotify did not break.
When that happened, it was Thursday or

635
00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:44.639
Friday at two in the morning.
You wake up and you check your you

636
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.239
know, you kind of check your
social media's and it's like freaking out.

637
00:47:46.280 --> 00:47:52.039
I don't worry about you know,
Iran and Israel. They're bombing each other,

638
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.480
got a former president. They just
you know, seated twelve jurors for

639
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:04.320
a massive trial. Now no,
nowt dropped a new album. It's it's

640
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:07.039
funny. This is the world we
live in. Uh. Not only did

641
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:13.599
Taylor Swift release a new album a
few two hours later after she released her

642
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:16.800
new album, apparently she released the
second half of the album. It's a

643
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:23.440
double album, a rainbow. Oh
bye, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.

644
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:29.559
I'm gonna go old school over here
for all you all you listeners friends of

645
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.840
mine who were over I mean,
I don't know, I'm gonna guess forty

646
00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:40.199
years old or something. Do you
remember when albums number one were actually albums?

647
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:44.119
There were vinyl albums. Yes,
I know final albums that are coming

648
00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.000
back, and I love that.
I can appreciate that. But do you

649
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:52.800
remember when you went to an actual
record store or a tape store or a

650
00:48:52.800 --> 00:49:00.760
CD store, a sound warehouse to
get an album. Now days you wake

651
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.719
up at two in the morning and
you automatically download or you listen it because

652
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:09.440
it streamed. There's good and bad. Because when I was, when I

653
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.039
was in high school or college,
that's the way we did it. I

654
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:16.199
went to a sound wareouse. I
grew up in Dallas. There were several

655
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:21.039
sound warehouses. There was a number
of different other record stores or whatever.

656
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:22.519
I went to school in Austin,
and right on the drag, right on

657
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:27.079
Guadaloup, right I was nearing the
co op, there was a I think

658
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:30.880
it was a sound warehouse, not
certainly not there anymore. That that's where

659
00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:35.239
I spent a lot of the money
that I did not have buying. I

660
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:43.519
remember specifically, I bought Princes When
Doves Cry the album. I already had

661
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:46.199
the Michael Jackson album because I was
a lawyer, but Prince that came out

662
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.800
with the you know, the whole
nineteen ninety nine and everything. So I

663
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:53.599
got that Minute Work were big.
I remember counting down. I don't know

664
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:59.079
this a Minute Works second album.
I have no clue why I got so

665
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:00.920
into it again. I was the
music big time, and you know,

666
00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:02.960
Casey, Casey, I wanted to
be in the radio. It was a

667
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.760
radio Toeson and film major. But
anyway, point is, we went and

668
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:09.519
we had to drop and this this
is These were cassette tapes and we were

669
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:16.360
dropping twelve bucks thirteen fifteen dollars on
a cassette. Nowadays, let's fast forward.

670
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:21.519
You don't pay anything. You just
stream this stuff. If you have

671
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:23.679
Spotify, you get Spotify free.
You could. You can't hear the songs

672
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.719
in order, but you don't get
the you don't physically see anything. You

673
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.599
don't get the liner notes. You
don't you know, you buy Janet Jackson's

674
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:34.039
album, you know, Rhythm Nation
back in the late eighties, I mean

675
00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:37.559
she has to thank five hundred people
that you're sitting there reading the liner notes

676
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.800
while you know you're you're listening to
songs. Nowadays, you don't know nothing.

677
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:43.679
You just hear it's it's it's I'm
not saying it's sad, it's bad,

678
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:46.039
but it's just these these are different
times. People. Old man is

679
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:52.360
officially screaming at the clouds here seven
one three two one two five nine five

680
00:50:52.519 --> 00:50:57.320
zero. Uh, let's go to
these young folks. Kids, your TikTok

681
00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:00.119
may be banned. We are getting
closer to uh. The US. The

682
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:07.719
Senate voting could come as soon as
next week that could ban TikTok. The

683
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:10.519
legislation, if you remembered, it
really sailed through the House of Representatives,

684
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:15.920
this was last month, but it
faced an uncertain future in the Senate because

685
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:20.880
there's a few prominent lawmakers who were
literally older than God, who have no

686
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:25.079
clue what TikTok is other than their
little pocket watch from the eighteen hundreds going.

687
00:51:27.519 --> 00:51:30.800
Oh, but they want to stop
it. TikTok, as you know,

688
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:35.280
is owned by a Chinese company called
byte Dance. They believe that they

689
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:37.760
are using this as a trozen horse, that they could find out all your

690
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:44.519
information on your phone through the TikTok
app, which Sike actually can't deny that,

691
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:49.159
which is one of the reasons why
I have never downloaded TikTok. They

692
00:51:49.199 --> 00:51:53.440
did tweak it last month. They
said if TikTok. If this law passes

693
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:57.760
and President Biden would sign this thing
in the law, it would ban TikTok.

694
00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:02.400
TikTok would have to sell it itself
for divest itself six within six months.

695
00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:06.480
They've tweaked it. Now the latest
version of this bill, bite Dance

696
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:12.239
would have up to twelve months to
divest TikTok instead of that six month period

697
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:17.400
stipulated in that original measure. And
is let's say that TikTok is banned?

698
00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:23.480
Here? Is this going to be
life as life changing as red lobster closing

699
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.039
due to bankruptcy. I want you
to think about this. You see what

700
00:52:27.079 --> 00:52:30.119
I did there, that's a professional
It's called a recall. That was from

701
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:36.960
last segment. What's worse red lobster
closing, goodbye all you can eat shrimp

702
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:44.960
for twenty five bones and goodbye cheddar
biscuits. Or not seeing people do do

703
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.960
a TikTok dance? That that makes
no sense. That's that's tough. Say

704
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.519
down A seven one three, two
one two five nine five. Oh,

705
00:52:53.880 --> 00:52:59.639
we've passed into law TikTok and then
the other apps that are controlled by A

706
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:04.639
four an adversary and I'm using air
quotes there indemed to be a national security

707
00:53:04.639 --> 00:53:08.480
thread. They'd face a band in
app stores here like the Apple Store or

708
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:15.199
Google Play. You know me,
and you're listen to me. You love

709
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:17.960
me. I don't delve into politics. I don't want to get into this

710
00:53:19.000 --> 00:53:22.360
thing. There is a good aspect
and a bad aspect about this. For

711
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:30.719
me. Number one, they don't
think it's right for our government to tell

712
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:39.559
us that something a very popular cool
and I'm using a tool, an app,

713
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:49.280
the ban because we can't use it. However, if this is indeed

714
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:54.039
a national security threats, indeed they
can prove that, Yes, I think

715
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:58.480
we should be warned about this thing. It's it's it's a tough situation.

716
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:00.800
And it goes back to when I
use to work for Microsoft. I worked

717
00:54:00.800 --> 00:54:05.519
for Microsoft for just a heartbeat back
in the late nineties and Microsoft was being

718
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:10.079
sued for antitrust and it really had
to do with the Microsoft Internet Explorer.

719
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:15.920
Because Windows owned everything, Windows ninety
five, Windows ninety eight, Windows,

720
00:54:17.000 --> 00:54:21.559
everybody had Windows, and when you
downloaded or where you had the Windows operating

721
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:27.599
system, pretty much Microsoft forced to
let you to make you use Microsoft's Internet

722
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:30.719
Explore browser. And this is when
the browsers, the worldwide Web browsers,

723
00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:35.599
they just started coming out. There
was another there was several other competitors.

724
00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:39.199
There was Netscape, there was a
number of others, and there's anti it

725
00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:42.800
was an anti trust. Well,
therefore, I mean, this is why

726
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.719
they're gonna, you know, when
the browser war, this is why there's

727
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:47.199
such a big market books here,
because if you're gonna use Windows, they're

728
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:52.440
going to force you. And so
they were sued. But the Mike Bill

729
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:55.280
Gates was and I worked there,
and maybe I was defending Microsoft as they

730
00:54:55.320 --> 00:54:58.920
worked there, but I was thinking, let me help you out here.

731
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:02.559
Here is a dude, Bill Gates, who didn't even graduate college, who

732
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:07.360
comes up with just an He builds
the world's largest company, most profitable,

733
00:55:07.519 --> 00:55:12.519
the craziest to unbelievable company in the
nineties. That's what Microsoft was. Microsoft

734
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:17.880
was Apple, Google, Netflix wrapped
into one. That's how big the Microsoft

735
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:21.760
was in the late nineteen nineties.
Thank you very much for all the stock

736
00:55:22.159 --> 00:55:25.519
that I got for as an employee
over there. But here's a guy who

737
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:30.760
worked his ass off and just built
a phenomenal company, and now his own

738
00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:37.599
government of his country is saying,
no, you're too successful. We're gonna

739
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:40.960
see you. That made me mad. That made me mad. So companies,

740
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:45.719
if you're smart, go for it. Man. It's like, why

741
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:50.559
would you start a company? Why
would you try to be so successful knowing

742
00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:54.320
or thinking there's a possibility that the
government or some entity like that can actually

743
00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:59.360
slow you down the process. So
that's kind of why I have a little

744
00:55:59.400 --> 00:56:02.280
interesting feelings with the not that I
have skinning the game on the TikTok thing,

745
00:56:02.320 --> 00:56:05.719
and I don't have any skin in
the game of Microsoft anymore. But

746
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:08.920
that's kind of how I view a
business right now. Hopefully no government is

747
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:13.119
going to slow down the growth of
the high tech texting brand, which is

748
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:15.519
twenty two years rolling. We're gonna
take a break right now, thirty minutes

749
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:19.559
left of the show. When we
come back, we're gonna talk about a

750
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.480
few things. Also, no more
Taylor Swift album. But about the work

751
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:24.880
week. Do you ever hear the
rumor that we're gonna go down to a

752
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:30.760
four day work week? Ah?
Not so fast. There's a company just

753
00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:44.400
announced it's going the other way.
Oh, I saw that the movie Interstellar

754
00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:52.280
is celebrating its ten year anniversary.
You guys, iver remember watching Interstellary I've

755
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:57.079
seen it once and I may have
seen it. I don't think I saw

756
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.559
it in the movie theater. I
guess I saw it on a DVD streaming

757
00:57:00.639 --> 00:57:06.280
or something. Christopher Nolan Oscar winner
Christopher Nolan. It was his sci fi

758
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:10.639
odyssey. I guess it's It's been
about ten years since it was first released

759
00:57:10.639 --> 00:57:16.039
in Theates, and they're bringing it
back now. They're bringing it back later

760
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:23.480
this year in iMac seventy millimeter and
it was it's Matthew McConaughey was in it,

761
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:29.480
and Hathaway, Jessica Chastain. I
love all three of those people.

762
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:35.960
It came out in the fall of
twenty fourteen, and it was a like

763
00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:38.440
everything Christopher Nolan does. I'm gonna
call it an odd or weird movie,

764
00:57:38.880 --> 00:57:44.280
kind of a mind bindery type of
thing. It was like a near future

765
00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:50.639
Earth. It was becoming uninhabitable because
there was a blight that was going to

766
00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:53.400
wipe out all the food crops,
and some astronauts they had to go to

767
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:58.480
space to look for another planet that
could support life. But then there was

768
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:02.920
this wormhole and there was a space
time. Weird. Dang ou don't it

769
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:08.239
was successful. I think it made
seven hundred and thirty plus million dollars globally.

770
00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:14.039
But they're rereleasing it ten years.
At what point do you celebrate a

771
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:19.519
movie to re release it again?
Is Interstellar worth it? I'm just just

772
00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:22.360
you know, I'm just gonna spend
a few more seconds of this thing ten

773
00:58:22.480 --> 00:58:24.239
years Interstar? Are you gonna watch
it again? Why would you do that?

774
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:28.679
When all you do if you have
a streaming service and you could talk

775
00:58:28.719 --> 00:58:32.320
into your milk control and just say
Interstellar you want to go to I mean

776
00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:39.000
seventy millimeters imax mass cool? But
is Interstellar one of those really worthwhile type

777
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:43.119
of films? I mean, I
don't. I mean Gone with the Wind,

778
00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:46.559
COSSA Black, A Wizard of Oz. I mean those were theys come

779
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:52.599
out what nineteen thirty nine or something, so that maybe a one hundred.

780
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:54.519
So maybe in twenty thirty nine they'll
have a one hundred years we'll go see

781
00:58:54.559 --> 00:58:59.239
them in fully imax and they're a
beautiful black and white version. I don't

782
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:00.559
know. I just thought that I
was interested. I don't know if Interstellar

783
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:04.840
is worth it, and I'm probably
getting the fun I'll get ready for the

784
00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:08.159
phones to light up for the uh, Interstellar lovers who are gonna come down

785
00:59:08.199 --> 00:59:12.760
to me. They're gonna rain down
on me. I probably should watch it.

786
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:19.000
Was it a weird Do you remember
Calum Do you remember Interstellar? All

787
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.280
I know is I'm a McConaughey was
in there, so I'm guessing he had

788
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:27.679
a Texas drawl. I love Van
Hathaway people. I don't know why.

789
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:30.800
People I just did. Some people
aren't Anne Hathaway fans. I think Anne

790
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:37.440
Hathaway is just sexy. Sorry now
I'm not sorry. I like it.

791
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:43.360
Just Chastain, beautiful red hair.
I loved her. She does several space

792
00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:45.760
movies. She was in The Martian. She was like the ship's commander to

793
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:50.519
go save Matt Damon. Oh,
she liked great in that movie. I

794
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:54.800
guess I need to rewatch that.
I'm not waiting to watch it. A

795
00:59:55.000 --> 01:00:00.679
Ford and seventy milimeter ibacks in September, maybe all White this week. Let's

796
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:05.360
I have four months where there's kind
of aduldrum in sports, and so I

797
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.760
may watch that, all right,
Michael Garvel, this is called the high

798
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:13.960
Tech Text and show, big hullabaloo
about work weeks. You know now that

799
01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:22.039
work from home became kind of a
thing during COVID and productivity in some aspects

800
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:24.719
went up. Companies are saying,
we want you back in the office,

801
01:00:24.719 --> 01:00:29.480
but maybe we're going to take the
five day traditional Monday through Friday work week,

802
01:00:30.039 --> 01:00:34.360
and then maybe we're going to cut
it down to four days. Is

803
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.199
that a good thing? And then
I'm thinking, well, if they use

804
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:43.039
a four day work week, would
it be a Monday through Thursday or would

805
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:47.400
you rather have it Tuesday through Friday. Oh, look at me, big

806
01:00:47.440 --> 01:00:52.519
tough questions here in the Michael Garfield
High Tech Text and Show. However,

807
01:00:53.440 --> 01:01:00.239
there is a company, a massive
worldwide company, then it's a you know

808
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:05.039
what I don't. We're going the
other way. We need to work harder,

809
01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:12.519
we need to work harder. That's
right. People. Samsung based in

810
01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:16.360
Seoul, South Korea. I went
there and I visited it last July.

811
01:01:16.559 --> 01:01:20.800
I was there on behalf of Samsung. They flew some journalists out to check

812
01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:25.679
it out. Samsung owns South Korea. I mean maybe not actually owns it,

813
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:28.639
but they probably do. I mean, you can't go anywhere. I

814
01:01:28.639 --> 01:01:30.199
mean there was no Apple anyway,
it was no Apple phone. I mean,

815
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:37.480
Samsung was just just everywhere. Samsung
apparently they did not have a great

816
01:01:37.679 --> 01:01:44.480
year in terms of profits and losses
as they thought they would, and they

817
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:47.880
want to have a sixth day work
week, at least for some of their

818
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:58.840
executives. A sixth day week.
You're forcing execs across all their major units

819
01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:01.239
to work six days a week,
so they're gonna go Monday through Friday,

820
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:07.760
plus either a Saturday or Sunday.
You're saying this new policy is meant to

821
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:13.719
inject a sense of crisis because the
company failed to meet financial expectations last year

822
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:19.679
and they got some economic headwinds they're
facing. You had to work six days

823
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:28.000
a week. Do you want to
work the Saturday or Sunday? Could?

824
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:32.000
I? Could I change that?
Every six months? No? Gosh,

825
01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:38.360
that's yeah. No, that's a
tough on because football season. I'm screwed.

826
01:02:38.679 --> 01:02:45.440
Saturday, it's about college football.
Sunday it's the NFL. I don't

827
01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:47.320
care if it's not football season.
I don't. He doesn't. What the

828
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:51.119
hell am I talking about. I'm
working on the Saturday right now, the

829
01:02:51.159 --> 01:03:01.199
Sabbath. I'm going to hell.
Well, then I would probably like Sundays,

830
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:07.079
so I would probably just suck it
up and work Sunday. Do you

831
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:09.920
know why I don't like Sunday.
I got the stupidest reason why I don't

832
01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:14.159
like. I've never liked. When
I was a kid, I hated Sundays.

833
01:03:14.280 --> 01:03:16.360
I hated Sunday nights. You know, I hate because I am an

834
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:22.159
optimist looking in the mirror. And
I am gonna tell you, like Stuart

835
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:25.800
Smully, my I'm Michael Garfield,
and I hate Sundays, and I'm an

836
01:03:25.840 --> 01:03:30.760
optimist because you know why, because
I'm always looking ahead. And I knew

837
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:34.920
what the next day after Sunday was. It was Monday, and it was

838
01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:38.760
a school day. So I hated
Sunday. Oh no, it's Sunday because

839
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:46.559
tomorrow is Monday. You didn't go
to church. Football season was good and

840
01:03:46.599 --> 01:03:51.880
the worst part of Sundays. This
is the second time I'm actually gonna use

841
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:55.719
the term TikTok. The worst time
ever on Sunday was six o'clock PM Central

842
01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:01.159
on CBS because when I grew up, obviously I grew up in Dallas and

843
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:08.400
the Dallas Cowboys were playing their late
afternoon window game, not summer all.

844
01:04:09.880 --> 01:04:14.320
Tom Brookshiw actually was his partner initially
before it was John Madden. The Chowboys

845
01:04:14.360 --> 01:04:21.760
went in on CBS coming up next
on CBS after the game sixty minutes followed

846
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:27.719
by murder, She wrote on the
East Coast, and all I know when

847
01:04:27.800 --> 01:04:31.360
they signed off, I heard the
TikTok, TikTok, TikTok of that sixty

848
01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:39.719
minutes watch the weekend was over.
Oh that was horrible. And we used

849
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:43.119
to watch those games at my grandparents'
house. They lived only about two miles

850
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:46.280
from us in Dallas, and my
cord cameras. They just love sixty minutes

851
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:49.360
and we would eat. We would
always have fried chicken. They we'd go

852
01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:53.599
to churches and then we'd bring it
in and we have to sit there and

853
01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:58.519
watch. Oh that was the worst. Thank God for Sunday Night Football and

854
01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:01.639
ESPN. Now we have something to
watch. I digress people, this is

855
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:05.599
what we talk about here seven one
three two one two five nine five zero.

856
01:05:05.840 --> 01:05:09.480
See. I mean you have to
be a certain age to understand what

857
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:13.000
I'm talking about. But then again, I like to think I reach all

858
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:19.719
age groups, all generations, men
and women here on my high tech text

859
01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:24.320
and show what else we got.
Checking the time real quick, I got

860
01:05:24.360 --> 01:05:27.480
about a minute before the last breakover
here. Six day work week. If

861
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:30.039
you have something to say about that
let me know and uh oh, one

862
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:33.480
more, let me get this Netflix. Netflix is doing pretty well. I

863
01:05:33.519 --> 01:05:38.960
do talk about streaming because streaming is
the new way to watch TV. Uh.

864
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:44.360
Congratulations to Netflix big time. They
had a massive quarter. Netflix added

865
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:49.320
nine point three million customers. Netflix
posted its best start to the year since

866
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:54.800
twenty twenty. They attracted more customers
than anyone expected because apparently they have some

867
01:05:54.840 --> 01:06:00.840
original programming. But it's their crackdown
on password sharing. I used to share

868
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:05.599
a password with someone of my ex
family and Netflix got pretty very smart.

869
01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:09.159
They said, Nope, unless you
live in the same house, you ain't

870
01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:13.840
sharing that password. And I have
not seen Netflix since they've cracked down on

871
01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:16.920
that thing. But I'm obstinate.
I did not obstinate. I did not

872
01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:20.440
go ahead and subscribe to it because
I already have too many other streamers.

873
01:06:20.679 --> 01:06:27.639
But they added nine point three million
subscribers in the first quarter global passwords sharing

874
01:06:27.639 --> 01:06:31.000
crackdown. That really did help.
By the way, guess who's next Disney.

875
01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:33.679
Plus, they're going to be cracking
down as long as they stay away

876
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:39.000
from Max because you share somebody's password. Company says it now has two hundred

877
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:48.800
and sixty nine million global subscribers revenue
of nine billion dollars. That's up massively

878
01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:54.679
from last year. But if anybody
cares about this thing, this is the

879
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:58.119
last time. They're not gonna They're
no longer going to talk about subscriber numbers.

880
01:06:58.599 --> 01:07:01.280
Netflix says they are going to stop
reporting quarterly membership numbers next year because

881
01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:05.039
subscribers are just one component of its
growth. If you had to have one,

882
01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:10.760
is this Apparently it's the biggest one. How many different streaming services do

883
01:07:10.800 --> 01:07:14.119
you have? How much does it
costing you right now? Do you use

884
01:07:14.119 --> 01:07:17.920
the advertiser supported one? These things
are cheaper the Netflix advertisers supported one,

885
01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:20.800
which means you get ads in between
your movies. It's about seven bucks a

886
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:24.639
month. If you don't have that
one is twenty twenty five bucks a month.

887
01:07:24.800 --> 01:07:30.320
People, we like ads, advertising
supported media. It's a good thing.

888
01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:33.119
Do you know why? Because we're
about to take a break, and

889
01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:36.519
I do thank you for just hanging
in there for about four minutes of listening

890
01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:42.480
to these wonderful commercials that you're gonna
hear on KPRC nine p fifty at iHeartRadio,

891
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:45.760
because you know what, we hope
we gives you an idea of where

892
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:49.000
to go shop and what to buy. But most importantly, it keeps this

893
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:55.920
radio that you're listening to absolutely free. My favorite four letter word, garb

894
01:07:55.960 --> 01:07:59.960
style thank you. That is how
media should work. We're back, final

895
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:02.400
fifteen minute segment of a high tech
Texan show right here, coming up,

896
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.639
the final segment of this week's show, having fun. I do thank you

897
01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:14.320
so much. It is Miguel.
I got to give out the phone number

898
01:08:14.400 --> 01:08:16.199
because we've got a few more topics
that hits. A few people are on

899
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:18.800
hold, and if I didn't get
to you, I do apologize for that.

900
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:23.640
Do thank some of our big sponsors
for keeping us online. You see,

901
01:08:24.479 --> 01:08:28.000
if you just listen to some of
those commercials, it doesn't cost you

902
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:30.600
anything to listen to this thing.
We don't ask you to subscribe by Netflix

903
01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:34.159
or the old newspaper thing. No, no, no, we don't want

904
01:08:34.199 --> 01:08:36.680
to do that. Just listening.
So we do. Think Papa's p LR

905
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:43.800
rum great rum, oh, pool
season coming up, beach time coming up.

906
01:08:44.239 --> 01:08:47.239
Nothing better than Papa's PLR P I
L A R. It is Ernest

907
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:51.720
Hemingway's family. They distill this thing
in Key West. If you ever go

908
01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:56.800
to Key West, make sure you
go to the Papa's plr or the Hemingway

909
01:08:56.840 --> 01:08:59.880
Distillery. You get some samples,
but you don't need to go all that

910
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:03.159
far. You can go to any
of your beautiful liquor stores, which by

911
01:09:03.159 --> 01:09:06.680

914
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.800

Guard and Grace, unbelievable, beautiful
Gorgo Steakhouse downtown. It is down

926
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.479

Compounding Pharmacy. For some reason, a

927
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:19.399
lot of the meds that you're getting
are a little too expensive from some of

928
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:26.319
the big consumer drug stores. Two
locations here in Houston. Campbell's Compounding dot

929
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:32.239
Com. Campbell's Compounding dot Com.
It is a really great place. Lance

930
01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:35.600
Campbell is a good dude of mine
who I've known for quite a long time.

931
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:41.399
Hey, I tease this in the
opening segment. I think about Wi

932
01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:45.079
Fi and I was going to tell
you about some of the new Wi Fi

933
01:10:45.279 --> 01:10:48.119
routers, the best something. I
got a few emails Michael, my WiFi

934
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:51.640
router has been around for a while, it's slowing down. What are the

935
01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:56.079
things that you can do for Wi
Fi? You need to figure out where's

936
01:10:56.119 --> 01:11:00.680
your WiFi router. If it's in
a closet, if it's in office and

937
01:11:00.760 --> 01:11:03.880
in a different part of your house. You physically can pick it up and

938
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:12.720
move it. If you can move
it away from a solid wall, maybe

939
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:15.279
there's a lot of metal. But
then again, there's different types that you

940
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:20.600
can get that actually boost your Wi
Fi signal. And one of it it's

941
01:11:21.279 --> 01:11:26.840
a mesh network. I've used a
Wi Fi Mesh system which has built in

942
01:11:26.920 --> 01:11:30.840
it comes with little tiny repeaters and
it kind of creates like a little mesh

943
01:11:30.920 --> 01:11:34.560
network. But there's different types of
Wi Fi. Now, Wi Fi seven

944
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:41.319
routers are just coming out. Wi
Fi six routers are still the best value.

945
01:11:41.399 --> 01:11:45.560
So if you're looking for a Wi
Fi router and you listen, if

946
01:11:45.600 --> 01:11:49.760
you want to really kind of find
something interesting, and if you have a

947
01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:54.880
Wi Fi router, most routers,
you can log on and you could see

948
01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:58.720
how many devices in which devices are
connected to your Wi Fi and your home

949
01:12:00.560 --> 01:12:06.239
a game. Take a guess of
how many different devices are connected to your

950
01:12:06.359 --> 01:12:09.960
Wi Fi system, and you're probably
gonna guess, Oh, let's I have

951
01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:13.079
a laptop, and you know,
everybody the family's got a phone. Maybe

952
01:12:13.119 --> 01:12:16.960
we've got six, seven or eight. I live alone, I think I

953
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:20.760
have. I am not kidding you
over forty different devices connected to my WiFi.

954
01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:25.600
Because you forget about things. You
forget about your video doorbell, you

955
01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:30.520
forget about all of your different electronic
Wi Fi control thermostats, you forget about

956
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:35.000
your devices like your peloton. So
there's a there's a lot of bandwidth going

957
01:12:35.119 --> 01:12:39.479
on your WiFi. So if you
think your WiFi is slow, it probably

958
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:42.439
is slower than it should be because
you have too many devices on there,

959
01:12:42.640 --> 01:12:47.119
or your Wi Fi routers are really
not fast enough. So Wi Fi six

960
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:50.880
right now, I would if you're
looking for it and they're not that expensive,

961
01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:55.039
go on Amazon. I mean you
could find new Wi Fi routers for

962
01:12:56.239 --> 01:13:01.880
seventy dollars, one hundred dollars.
Yeah, there's If you're a gamer and

963
01:13:01.920 --> 01:13:05.960
you need super lightning fast, yeah
you're gonna spend. I can tell you

964
01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:12.520
a two hundred dollars plus router.
Tpy Link is a really good one.

965
01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:15.600
Asis as us they make a very
good, big, good gaming router too,

966
01:13:15.800 --> 01:13:24.239
But net Gear relatively inexpensive, and
just I would say do a little

967
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:26.680
research and if if you're stuck in
it, pop me an email again.

968
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:29.039
This is what I do if I'm
not working on Saturdays in the air,

969
01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:32.000
I'm generally you know, playing around
and answering your emails. Michael Garfield at

970
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:36.640
iHeartMedia dot com but let me the
let me give you inexpensive one. Here's

971
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:43.439
one called the t key as in
toilet paper pee link. It's the Archer

972
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:48.039
dep link Archer AX twenty one if
that matters. It's sports Wi Fi six,

973
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:50.840
which is one of the latest standards. It's seventy bucks. A look

974
01:13:51.000 --> 01:13:54.479
looks like at Amazon. I'm not
getting one penny from many of this.

975
01:13:54.520 --> 01:14:00.520
I'm just telling you. Here's a
net gear. This is ninety dollars net

976
01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:04.680
gear. Hold i'let me give you
because tons net gear are sixty seven hundred.

977
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:09.279
But then again, there's a net
gear that I'm saying for six hundred

978
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:14.319
and twenty five. So just just
just be careful. When should you When

979
01:14:14.319 --> 01:14:18.159
should you get the very expensive one? When you have a ton of advices,

980
01:14:18.439 --> 01:14:21.399
a ton of devices, when you
have a number of different people logging

981
01:14:21.399 --> 01:14:24.600
on, and what do you want
to use it for? Listen if you

982
01:14:24.760 --> 01:14:29.520
are like my son. My son
is a video editor and he works out

983
01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:34.000
of his apartment. He has to
upload and download massive video files and he's

984
01:14:34.039 --> 01:14:39.520
wired to the internet. Yeah he's
wired. No, he's he has wired

985
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:42.760
connection to the internet. But also
he's got a laptop that he uses and

986
01:14:42.800 --> 01:14:45.239
nets in other parts of his apartment. That's when you need a high speed

987
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:49.199
Internet, but you also want to
make sure that your Internet connection itself is

988
01:14:49.239 --> 01:14:53.199
super speedy fast. There's really two
parts that I'm gonna in the show like

989
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:56.399
this. There's two parts of the
speediness of an Internet connection. One of

990
01:14:56.439 --> 01:14:59.199
which, yes, if you're on
Wi Fi, how fast does that?

991
01:14:59.359 --> 01:15:03.119
Does your de vice wirelessly connect to
your router? Well, that's where the

992
01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:05.920
Wi Fi six and the Wi Fi
seven, the new standards come in.

993
01:15:06.000 --> 01:15:11.359
That's fast. But again, once
it leaves your house, wants it leaves

994
01:15:11.359 --> 01:15:13.720
your apartment, Once it leaves that
router, it's got to go to the

995
01:15:13.720 --> 01:15:17.880
Internet itself. And if you're using
Exfinity, if you're using whatever type of

996
01:15:17.880 --> 01:15:23.079
connection that you have, and you're
it's not fast, that you're limited by

997
01:15:23.079 --> 01:15:28.000
that slowest part. You're limited by
the slowest part to get to the actual

998
01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:32.920
Internet itself. Yes, I know
internet access ain't cheap right now, but

999
01:15:33.079 --> 01:15:35.600
that's the things that you need to
check. But anyway, go see how

1000
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:41.119
long people forget that their WiFi routers. You may have an original one from

1001
01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:45.560
almost twenty years ago when I first
started talking about Wi Fi systems. Maybe

1002
01:15:45.600 --> 01:15:47.680
it's time to upgrade a new one. So there is one of your major

1003
01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:50.520
high tech texts and tips of the
day, which leads us to the end

1004
01:15:50.600 --> 01:15:56.239
of the show. Whoo. We
covered everything from Red Lobster potentially closing with

1005
01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:59.880
their Jetter cheese biscuits, the Taylor
Swift's new album. What else can I

1006
01:15:59.880 --> 01:16:02.760
do for you? It is cocktail
time, so go find yourself a nice

1007
01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:08.439
Papa's p laur rump or whatever else
that makes you happy, makes you smile,

1008
01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:11.119
get outside, exercise and have a
good time. Hey, for those

1009
01:16:11.159 --> 01:16:14.920
celebrating passover next week, I'm with
you, baby, get ready to get

1010
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:17.199
clogged up. Go get your matza. We will be here next Saturday.

1011
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:20.720
Whatever makes you happy, enjoy it. Callum Read and everybody else here at

My name is Michael Garfield. This
has been the High Tech Texans Show,

1014
01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:30.960
and right now my show is over.
